Nicotine Stain

Siouxsie And The Banshees

Composed by: Siouxsie Sioux / Steven Severin
key: Em Tuning: E A D G B E
            E
It's just a habit
        D
When I reach to the packet
        B
For my last cigarette
           C        E
Until the day breaks
            D          B
And then my hand shakes
       C                           E
But but bu-bu-bu-bu but it's just driving me insane
          D
When the smoke gets in my brain
          B     C
I can't resist it


[Chorus]
E E  F F     B B  C C
Wallow in that ash bath
E E  F F     B B  C C
Soaking up the fumes
E  F F       B  C C
And see the nicotine stain
E  F F       B  C C
Start to spread


[Bridge 1]
E  D  B  C


[Verse 2]
           E
I'm so congested
                  D
Cos north, south, east and west
              B
Catarrh rests on my chest
    C                E
Congealed and twisted
         D           B
Cough up and shift it
         C
But I can feel my lungs collapse
         E
Sinking deep into my lap
    D      B      C
I'm so useless

For this part you can use these triads. They might sound better here.

[Verse 3]
        E
I'm so useful
       D
If you don't want to fight
     B
Just give your foe a fright
           C         E
Say you'll drop me
         D         B
On every country
    C            E
See see see see all will be stone dead
          D
When the nicotine stain spreads
     B          C
Just light me


[Chorus]
E E  F F     B B  C C
Wallow in that ash bath
E E  F F     B B  C C
Soaking up the fumes
E  F F       B  C C
And see the nicotine stain
E  F F       B  C C
Start to spread
